I feel like I’ve won the lottery! Mel over at Dummies of the Year has honored me with his Top Commenter of the week award. Please head over to dummiesoftheyear.com to check him out. You’ll be glad you did!

Hahaha! That Scholar Mel is a rascal! I don’t know how he did it, but there’s a different picture when I look at this post off of my phone. “I Love To Steal Pictures From Dummies of the Year!” He’s a tricky little thing.

Congratulations on the award! I’m short on cash, but I’ll gladly smuggle you out of harm’s way and hide you out for a few weeks, until the heat dies down. If you don’t have a fear of small spaces, the trunk of my car is pretty comfy! 😉

Thanks John. All I require is a ventilation hole, air conditioning, a few down pillows covered in 1500 thread count egyptian cotton, an array of gourmet cheeses, a case or two of Champagne, a swirly straw and an iPod docking station so I can listen to my extensive collection of blink-182. Besides that, I’m pretty low maintenace. 😉

Well, let’s see. Air hole (rust hole) – check. AC – check. Pillows – check. I’ll have to count the cotton, and check its’ passport. Gourmet cheese? I’ll have to go see Blackjack and company – get back to you on that one. Champagne? Check. (Warm 7-Up – she’ll never know!) Swirly straw? Check. Blink what? My last new musical act was Sheena Easton. iPod? Would an 8-track work? If not, I think I still have a Victrola reading wax cylinders……
Hey, I’ve got cutting edge tech! I just never said what century’s tech. 😉

Thank you for exposing Mel to me. Wait … strike that. How about, thanks for dumping me on Mel? No… um … aw heck, thanks for mentioning him. I think I sense a kindred insanity – time will tell if he can live down to my standards. 😀

I’m trying to shrink a photo of me and Blackjack. Otherwise, I need a cartoon of a guy dressed in a WW2 uniform, wielding a sword, with the Federation logo on his chest, a dog at his side, and a slide rule in his free hand. (That covers the top few of my interests.) Any ideas? 😀
